| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit covers the fundamentals of digital techniques and avionic systems that are typically found on large, complex aeroplanes with gas turbine engines. It covers parts of EASA Part 66 Module 5 (Digital techniques) and Module 11 (Aeroplane aerodynamics) at the level of Category A1, including: electronic instrument systems; basic computer structure; electrostatic sensitive devices; avionic systems; and Integrated Modular Avionics. Study-Unit Aims: This study-unit introduces aircraft maintenance trainees to the basics of computing, with a look at computer terminology, architecture and operation. The study-unit also exposes students to the fundamentals of instrument/avionics systems, with an explanation of the function and operation of various avionics systems that are typically found on turbine aircraft. Additionally, the study unit exposes students to the proper handling of sensitive electronic components. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Describe the structure, function and operation of a computer - Explain how different avionic systems work and how they can fail - Identify interconnections and interdependencies between avionic systems - Describe the indications and warnings associated with avionic systems - Identify the safety features of an avionic system 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Read basic drawings and schematics of avionic systems - Compare and contrast avionic systems of different aircraft - Assess the maintainability of different avionic systems - Perform avionic system maintenance more effectively This study unit covers the fundamentals of digital techniques and avionic systems that are typically found on large, complex aeroplanes with gas turbine engines.
